Benefits of Nerolidol

If you're passionate about cannabis, essential oils, or plants in general, it's crucial to grasp the significance of terpenes, such as nerolidol, which define the aroma, flavour, and therapeutic properties of various plants.

When selecting a cannabis strain or essential oil to support a specific need, understanding these terpenes will help you in making the best choice for your health.    

Nerolidol carries a floral, woody fragrance, reminiscent of tree bark, although it's not as renowned as other terpenes like limonene (lemon) or linalool (lavender).

Benefits of Nerolidol:

  1. Anti-anxiety:  If seeking relief from anxiety, opt for a cannabis strain or essential oil high in nerolidol, especially as an alternative to lavender or linalool.

  2. Anti-inflammatory:  Particularly effective against systemic inflammation such as asthma, arthritis, and fibromyalgia. For pain management, consider topicals enriched with nerolidol to enhance the penetration of topical agents.

  3. Anti-fungal:  When applied topically, nerolidol proves beneficial against skin fungi and candida.

Having worked part-time as a budtender for three years, I've noticed that the primary reason people turn to cannabis is for assistance with sleep and pain management.  Therefore, choosing a cannabis strain high in nerolidol can aid in achieving better sleep quality.
